what is up? >> caller: would the premium be for medicare if we all paid it out of our pocket? >> it would be much higher than what you pay now because medicare is regulated in a way that the private insurance market isn't regulated. so it's a percentage of what the private insurance market pays. people complain that medicare rates for doctors, for example are too low, but it's actually that the private insurance payments are too high. they have overinflated what things cost and that's why doctors complain that medicare -- medicare is actually spot on. you would end up paying significantly more out of pocket, because people have more ailments obviously -- >> caller: but the fact that they made part d non-competitive. they have to pay whatever the pharmacy is charging. has anybody done a study to find out what the premium would be if

it matches up with how high the premiums would be in the private market? >> there is an organization called medicarefoundation.org and the kaiser foundation also has some really good comparisons. >> caller: i was just thinking it would be a great way to offer, a, quote unquote people could buy into medicare instead of buying into private insurance. oh medicare for all. it would be tremendously less expensive. because we could negotiate the rates -- >> stephanie: and that's why the republicans would never go for it -- >> yeah medicare is much more efficient than private insurance because it doesn't have shareholders. >> stephanie: who wants that?

turned down the expansion of the medicaid. >> well, the supreme court ruled that the federal government couldn't require states to expand medicaid so unfortunately there will be a lot of people who fall below 133% of the poverty level in your state who would have had access to health care who now probably won't. i don't know what the contingency plans are for that or statewide what they are going to do but the reason why it is such a good idea for states to taken that opportunity, was the federal government said we'll pick up the tab 100% for the first three years and 90% after that. so it is not going to cost the states anything to expand medicaid and cover people who fall below 133% of the poverty line. it's unfortunate the supreme

court ruled that the states weren't going to be required to do it. >> stephanie: i don't know if the supreme court takes into account how much the republicans will do just to spite the president. >> caller: that ex-exactly why this is being done. >> stephanie: yeah that's what i mean. you were saying these fiscal cliff negotiations it's presuming their care for something other than their own power. >> that's what we're walking about people's lives. >> stephanie: and it's completely counter intuitive. they are screaming smaller government smaller government and now the federal government will have to do it for them. >> yeah. >> stephanie: this is a love letter to my listeners -- [♪ romantic music ♪] >> stephanie: we are just a

the ten-year hiatus that they have had in making a real contribution. and i think that's a really wide wide goal. >> stephanie: representative moore, you can looking at the same polls we are, and it seems like they are getting worse for republicans. 75% of americans want the wealthier americans to pay their fair share and they don't want medicare or social security touched. >> exactly. >> stephanie: who are they fighting for at this point? >> well i can tell you that the very rich and powerful have sent out various threats to the gop, you know, that if you don't do our bidding, we're not going to fund your campaigns; that we want, you know government spending to yield to our

corporatist interests, and, you know, take for example this demand from speaker boehner, that we do $800 billion in cuts in the social safety net. i mean that's coming straight from -- from corporate america. i mean they want to change the social security, cut $200 billion out of that. they want to cut $600 billion out of medicare by raising the medicare eligibility age to 67. this is what they campaigned on romney and paul ryan and they want to win by negotiation kiosk. they don't care that this is unpopular with the public. >> stephanie: right. their masters have said that this is the demand that we want

to make. our counterproposal is sure we would love to change medicare but what we want to do is for example negotiate drug costs with the drug companies. that would give us at least 300, $400 billion over ten years. so we want to take it away from the very wealthy pharmaceutical companies, and they are saying no, you got to get this out of social security and benefits. so that's the difference. >> stephanie: yeah and i'm looking like i say this is not even just polling. it is non-partisan. the republicans screamed about this report so they redid it and it reached the same conclusion. >> exactly. >> stephanie: over the past 65 years the reduction in top tax rates has had little association with savingser our productivity growth. and this puts a steak in the

heart of the republican argument that it somehow curves economic growth. >> well stephanie, the whole notion of the job creators, we can't hurt the job creators by taking money away from them. the point is they are not hiring because of these taxes. you get every single penny that you spend on payroll is deductible. duh! every single penny that you spend on renting, leasing, buying space is deductible. >> stephanie: right. >> from your income no matter how you are filing. so that's ludicrous that somehow rewarding income above $250,000 you know, somehow creates jobs. we know who creates jobs the struggling brand new entrepreneurs who are bringing new people on and the president

has provided 18 different tax cuts for small businesses. you know we need to target help to small businesses more accurately instead of this fantasy -- >> stephanie: yep. >> -- as you might characterize it, that somehow if we provide tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, we'll just magically help. >> stephanie: you have no idea how much the mocking tone of your voice is appreciated on this show. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: representative before you go, wanted to get your take we have been talking about susan rice withdrawing. i just thought it was disgraceful that this accomplished woman became a political target of the republicans for no good reason and now has lost the opportunity to serve as secretary of state. >> oh stephanie, there is so much to be said about that.

when you talk about raw politics this is it. i think that they think they have a shot at that senate state if john kerry were appointed -- >> stephanie: yeah someone's career has to be sacrificed for pure partisan politics. it really is a sad day, i think. >> i think so too. republicans do much better in specht elections. money goes a lot further. the coalition that took president obama and elizabeth warren, quite frankly to the top may not turn out in a special election and they are banking on -- on -- as close as it was -- it was much closer than romney and obama in massachusetts -- >> >> stephanie: right. and that's what they count on is less turnout, trying to suppress the vote. >> that's right.

so the thing of it is is we need to really hone in on educating the voters in massachusetts. all hands on deck for this special election if in fact he does appoint john kerry. but in the short run they have won. in the long run, you know, it's incumbent upon us to make sure they are tone deaf. they still haven't heard the message, which is hey, you are kicking around another woman, this war on women continues. you have thrown her out for no reason, war on people of color. this is the coalition that will keep you out of power from now on. >> stephanie: yeah. >> and once again here is a woman who did absolutely nothing. >> stephanie: yep. >> and, you know, you pulled together this minority voice -- >> poor mccain.

i still respect him stephanie. >> stephanie: i know. >> i used to respect him. war hero um -- but i think that this is a very short-term victory for them. >> stephanie: i hope so. representative gwen moore you are a pleasure. thanks for taking time with us in the middle of what must just be a delightful time in the congress. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: thank you so much. >> all right. bye-bye. [ applause ] >> stephanie: she is awesome. susan rice yesterday. >> i withdrew my name because i think it's the right thing for the country and the president, and putting those things together that makes it the right thing for me and my family -- >> however, if scott brown gets his senate seat back then this whole thing will end in catastrophe. >> stephanie: yeah. >> oh we loved john kerry. >> stephanie: yeah we have always loved john kerry.
